Now, his take on ethnicity and race much like some of the previous patriarchs also used the OT Bible as their genetics book to connect us back to the ancient past, however, this doesn’t mean that they only relied upon the Bible to come to that conclusion. We had manuscripts prior to Christianity (which the ancient churches and early patriarchs burnt and destroyed to a crisp after their Christian conversion- go figure, zealots!) and people prior or just after Christianity that attested their own existence and links to the past as being Assyrian (for example, Lucian of Samosota, Tatian the Assyrian, Iamblichus the Novelist, and Sennacherib with his son and daughter Saint Behnam and Sarah, who he murdered after converting to Christianity by Mar Mattai). But, the vast majority of their history is written based on the biblical texts and that origin goes back to #Shem. Shem is not a historical figure nor is he the origins of our genealogy and anyone who uses this figure as a source, is sorely mistaken and needs to study more about genetics and evolution as human migrations and Assyrians alone predate Shem and his own timeline. In any rate, this post is to highlight another Assyrian who knew his roots prior to turning his back against it due to the genocides and massacre the Turks, kurds and Arabs deployed on his people which, unfortunately, he became a coward in my eyes due to this flip.

More info on this person will be in the comments section as Kurds and their radical nationalists along with other anti-Assyrian trolls and bigots like to use him a lot to show division amongst our people. Nothing can be further from the truth as they deploy propaganda against us so don’t fall for it.

I’m not sure why some people continue to make these claims, because they rely on conflating ancient peoples with modern ethnic groups. The Sumerians were an ancient Mesopotamian people whose language, Sumerian, is generally regarded by linguists as a language isolate.

Despite various attempts to connect Sumerian genetically to other languages, no such relationship has gained general acceptance in Assyriology or historical linguistics, not one.

Kurdish, by contrast, belongs to the Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family and is generally classified within the Western Iranian group. This does establish that Kurdish and Sumerian belong to entirely different linguistic traditions.

Likewise, the fact that modern Kurds live today in areas that were historically connected to Mesopotamia does not make them Sumerians, nor does it establish that they were historically part of māt Aššur.

Claims of continuity between ancient Assyrians and modern Kurds need to be demonstrated through contemporary historical and linguistic evidence, rather than assumed from geography as I have ran into Kurds who also claim Ancient Assyrian ancestry.

The name Kurd itself is also relevant. The Middle Persian kurt (kwrt) is attested from the pre-Islamic period and referred to nomadic, tent-dwelling. The term originally functioned as a social designation associated with a nomadic way of life before developing into an ethnonym.

Therefore, projecting the modern Kurdish identity backwards onto Sumerians or Assyrians or Medes or Gutians or Hittites or Mitanni or Hurrian or Sassanids or Greeks, and anyone else other than the KWRTS, is historically unwarranted and pseudohistory (Soran Hamarash is a pseudo-historian!). Their languages (mainly for Sumerians), political structures and identities are independently attested and should not be conflated simply because modern Kurdish populations inhabited parts of the same broader regions much, much later.

I work with Ai a lot at work and this is just a little info about why you should not always trust it for your sources.

I am not saying it’s 100% wrong as it’s useful for many other things but when it comes to academic or photography, you need to have discernment and also well versed in history if you want to debate others with it.

I’ll use this tiny example of a picture someone posted on here and I asked Google ai if this boy was Assyrian. If you keep asking it the same query, it will always give you different responses. So, this just shows it’s not always going to give what you asked it for. Make sure you stress test it with other ai’s to be always certain of the footnotes and citations it uses as sometimes it needs a few tries to get it right. This is where historical knowledge comes to play b/c if you already know the answer and many sources for your question, then it will be much easier to pickup on the bullsh*t it spits out.

Hope that helps you out in your future journey with ai.

The Assyrian profile is using a pink dress on Simko Shikak who committed a genocide and massacre against the Assyrian nation while the Kurdish account is using the same genocide and massacre to dehumanise an entire nation as they can’t create memes without invoking violence.

Chaldean separatists are going crazy over this video and starting to do a hit campaign against Mr. Nail Nuna’s character. These people live in denial and they can’t see it, so it’s all ego at this stage.

We know you are nothing but a church misnomer because your DNA will always come back ethnically Aššūrāyeh.

Join us and let go of the myth called “Chaldean”, they were never a people that even called themselves “Chaldean”. We coined the term Kaldu for whoever those people were and they have long been assimilated into many different cultures and people. They came, invaded, conquered for 80 years and vanished as a people. They only live in memory and the history books.

Listen to Mr. Nuna, his perspective should shape your mindset. Join us, and come back to your roots.

This is one of many pictures that they have out on social media that they post on a regular basis. I saw more of this on Twitter/X 2 years ago so they still continue to do this on a regular basis with new iterations of the genocide and murder of our people.

The hypocritical and asinine part is that they act like victims, complaining about being abused by Turks and Syrians when it comes to their illegal seizure of our lands - lands for which they are then met with force, and then turn around and do this because of internet debates about them being Medes, or having ties to antiquity, or any other bogus claims they insist on making, which some Assyrians challenge.
